MOREHEAD, Ky. – Women's hoops continues their road trip in the Volunteer State with a matchup against Austin Peay Saturday.

Morehead State is coming off a defeat at Tennessee Tech on Thursday, where they outscored the Golden Eagles 18-17 in the first quarter, but couldn't keep their momentum through the rest of the game and fell 78-48. Jada Claude and Terri Smith once again led the Eagles with 15 points apiece.

Austin Peay has opened OVC play 1-1 on the season, with head coach Brittany Young's first conference victory coming against Southeast Missouri. The Governors saw four players reach double-figures, including junior Shay-Lee Kirby who led Austin Peay in scoring for the second time this season and matched her season-high 16 points.

Tip-off is slated for 2:30 p.m. ET and can be found on ESPN+ or listened to on the Eagle Sports Radio Network.
